No, I didn't patch the ebuild.  That's one of the things I hadn't double
checked yet when I posted, but indeed, it seems that -ftree-vectorize
(and pretty much everything else for that matter) is stripped by the glibc
ebuild. Thus, it's almost certainly glibc-2.5 itself, not any CFLAGS, that
caused my pain, tho it very well could be glibc-2.5 in /combination/ with
other software compiled with certain CFLAGS.  I'll have to recompile
glibc-2.5 again and try it again to be sure, but that's my working
hypothesis at this point.
